Yes it shows because the telescope is Alt-Az mounted

If you look carefully at the great red spot you can see that it appears to move a bit faster than the dark structures to the south this is due to differential rotation.

A similar view to the previous post in this thread but now the great red spot appears near the right limb. Also we see it at a different angle.

Meanwhile on #Jupiter: Great red spot rotating out of view

Ah thus the saying the foot always lands on the cat

Overexposed blurry view of Jupiter system with a large bright splotch to the right and three bright dots to the left. Each of the bright spots shows a three-spiked rainbow-like interference pattern caused by a special mask placed in front of the telescope. When the spike pattern is symmetrical the middle line centered the telescope is in focus.

Circular disk of Jupiter centered against black background. Brownish and white strips alternate. The great red spot makes a dent in the southern brown belt. It is trailed by a cloud structure containing a bright dot.

This is the Blood Moon again, but this time 30 6-second images stacked. I think it might have gained a little bit in detail, but I might like the color better on the first one. #Astronomy #Astrophotography

closeup of a total lunar eclipse. The upper left has a dark orange shade that becomes lighter moving to the lower right. The lower right limb is whitish.

Last night's total lunar eclipse at mid-eclipse. You can tell it is close to the edge of the umbra at lower right. Also called a blood moon if you have orange blood. Takahashi TSA 120, modified Sony Alpha 7 III, 1s exposure moon, 10s stars, ISO 400. #astrophotography

Astronomer Nevil Maskelyne racked up a £141 alcohol bill during his 18 month expedition to observe the 1761 Transit of Venus.

That’s over £26,000 ($35,000) in today’s money.

Or almost £50 per day.

He claimed it on expenses and would go on the become Astronomer Royal.

Trying to google prices of rum in 1761 and this would buy about 5 liters / day? Prices might be higher on an island though.

Inside the plan to kill Ali Khamenei Israel spent years hacking Tehran’s traffic cameras and monitoring bodyguards ahead of the assassination of Iran’s supreme leader

"Nearly all the traffic cameras in Tehran had been hacked for years, their images encrypted and transmitted to servers in Tel Aviv and southern Israel, according to two people familiar with the matter." www.ft.com/content/bf99...

The trans women in women's sports thing annoys the fuck out of me because trans women were first allowed to compete as women in the Olympics in 2004. This was the policy for at least 6 summer Olympics, at which not a single trans woman ever won a medal.

2. Several prominent outlets falsely reported that the Trade Act of 1974 gives Trump the legal authority to impose temporary tariffs of up to 15% in response to *trade deficits*

THIS IS NOT TRUE

The European commissioner for human rights urges countries planning to exercise authoritarian restrictions on children's access to online connection to instead focus on creating safer online platforms that protect children's rights.

and that, my fellow academics, is one reason not to hire war criminals: so they can't show up years post (their) war arguing in favor of the scaffolding behind their own atrocities with the imprimatur and status of your university
